Rohan tells Manish that since he threw the ball, he should have to apologize, not Rohan. Manish says nothing, but we can hear some odd whimpering in the room. Rohan looks over his shoulder towards the door, and we can see what seems to be the legs of a younger girl, wearing a dress and clutching a doll. I think it's safe to assume this must be Jyoti.
We'll
have to come back to that later, as it's time for work. We see the car heading
into town again, with Radz blaring "La Bamba" on the radio. Jhil is already in a
hostile mood after the morning she's had, so she shouts at Radz to turn the
radio off. As they're bickering, they fail to notice the crazy man is back in
the street. This time he's in front of the car, and they have to slam on the
brakes to avoid killing him.
He runs over to Jhil's window and begins screaming some oddly coherent sentences (well, for him anyway). He says that she didn't say anything to her husband, and that "nobody who goes there ever comes back." Jhil is sufficiently bothered by this time and she begins driving away as he begs her to listen to what he's saying.
Back
at the house, Rohan is watching cartoons (Donald Duck!) and behaving himself. He
gets up from the couch and turns up the television. As he's backing up towards
the couch, Rukma has taken a seat and is none too pleased to be with Rohan
again. She glares at him for a moment, then asks him why he threw the ball at
her. He tells her he didn't do it, but she doesn't believe him. She says that
she's going to put him in a small room that is filled with dangerous ghosts and
witches who like to kill little kids and drink their blood (seriously).
Rohan bravely stands his ground. He says that he'll tell on her if she does anything mean to him. She asks him what he's going to say to his parents, and he says that he'll tell them she's a thief. He says he saw what she took. Rukma becomes very angry at this and twists his ear very hard, causing him to yell. Virag calls in from the other room to see what Rohan wants, but Rukma answers for him. She calls back that Rohan just wants to play outside, and asks if she can take him. Virag agrees, and goes back to reading his paper.
Rukma
tells Rohan that he's going to see what happens to kids that cause her trouble,
and picks him up by the waist. She marches out the front door, covering Rohan's
mouth as he struggles to cry out. Virag takes a call from Jhil and says that
Rohan is fine. Jhil asks to speak with him, but Virag says that he's out playing
with Rukma. Well, playing isn't the best word to use for what they're doing.
Rukma has dragged Rohan out to the side of the busy road near the house. She
taunts him for a minute, then sees something over his shoulder that makes her
grin the most wicked smile I've seen in a long time. Rohan looks to see what
she's smiling about, and sees a large truck speeding down the road towards them.
Rukma waits until the truck is very close, then slings Rohan out into the path
of the truck. She pulls him back out of the way a split second before he'd be
liquefied. The driver of the truck yells out of the window at her, but doesn't
stop.
Rukma pulls Rohan's head back by his hair, and says that the next time he threatens her, she will push him for real. That night, Rohan tells Jhil the whole thing. Rukma hit him, put him in traffic, and scared him very badly. Jhil says that she had forgiven him for the incident this morning, but this is too much. She says that he shouldn't make things up about real people, and that what he is doing is very wrong. Rohan goes for his other card, and says that Rukma had stolen some things from the house. Of course, as he is saying this, Rukma is busy replacing all of the items she took.
Jhil
is too upset to speak directly to Rohan anymore. She tells Virag to take over,
but Radz steps in instead. She tells Jhil to go and relax, while she gives Rohan
his dinner and puts him to bed. Jhil goes downstairs and plops onto the couch.
She notices one of the items Rohan mentioned is not missing, and is right where
it always was. This causes her to roll her eyes and hang her head in
frustration. Rukma comes over and asks her what's wrong. Jhil says that Rohan is
having problems adjusting to the new place. Rukma says that this first day was a
little rough, but it will get better. She reassures Jhil that everything will be
okay soon. Jhil thanks her and sends her home for the night.
Rukma slowly makes her way out of the house while Virag comes downstairs. He feels that something serious is bothering Rohan (man that guy is good), and they need to find out what it is. They discuss the possibility of taking Rohan to a child psychiatrist, and how he might react to that. However, outside the house, it seems help is already on the way. Rukma walking along the dark path to the street, enjoying some of the other items she took that she had not replaced. She makes it to the road and notices that there's a tennis ball in the middle of the street. Hmm.
